Solitude Quotes

The bar is an exercise in solitude. Above all else, it must be quiet, dark, very comfortable-and, contrary to modern mores, no music of any kind, no matter how faint. In sum, there should be no more than a dozen tables, and a clientele that doesn’t like to talk Picture Quote #1

Can you be alone without being lonely? Can you spend time by yourself without craving noise or company of other people? Have you discovered the glory of quiet time spent alone, time spent listening to your soul? Solitude brings with it gifts that come from nowhere else Picture Quote #1

I like solitude. I’m very good at being disconnected. I do a lot of disappearing. People who know me go, ‘Oh yeah, Mailman, she’s gone into her cave again.’ I’m like that, a bit of a hibernating bear. Like that crocodile that just sits there in the water and doesn’t do much. I was always a bit of a dreamer as a kid, so that hasn’t changed Picture Quote #1

African-Americans assume I’m named after the notorious Soledad prison or Mount Soledad in California. Latinos want to know if I’m lonely. That doesn’t fit, because I grew up with five siblings, and I have four kids of my own, so I’m not lonely at all, though I do often seek solitude, the actual meaning of my name Picture Quote #1

I think female solitude is a mental condition as well as a physical state. You can be married and a spinster. I think spinster is an identity every woman can claim, if she will... I feel like a lot of women, or a lot of feminists, joke about taking to the sea or living alone in a cottage as this kind of fun freedom Picture Quote #1

Those moments of solitude and exhibiting a mental breakdown, and how you do that physically and without it being too obvious, but being relatively settled but relatively intense. There are some intense moments in there that sort of pepper his breakdown Picture Quote #1

Some people can’t stand being alone. I love solitude and silence. But when I come out of it, I’m a regular talking machine. It’s all or nothing for me Picture Quote #1

I guess it all depends on your nature. Some people can’t stand being alone. I love solitude and silence. But when I come out of it, I’m a regular talking machine. It’s all or nothing for me Picture Quote #1

‘Tis solitude should teach us how to die; It hath no flatterers; vanity can give, No hollow aid; alone - man with God must strive Picture Quote #1

It’s an interesting combination: Having a great fear of being alone, and having a desperate need for solitude and the solitary experience. That’s always been a tug of war for me Picture Quote #1

Although I’ve made notes for things and even written synopses sitting in trains or on park benches, for the complete composition of things I need absolute solitude, preferably an empty house Picture Quote #1

Solitude is fine when you are at peace with yourself and have something definite to do Picture Quote #1

I am an incorrigible devotee to solitude, and am never so cheerful, I believe, or so unruffled by small difficulties as when I’m alone. There’s a sort of obligation to be polite and pleasant to yourself when nobody else is round Picture Quote #1

I needed to be in the bush. There I find solitude and beauty and purity and focus. That’s where my heart lies Picture Quote #1

Solitude offers a lot that being coupled or being in a group does not. It helps us learn what we are capable of Picture Quote #1

Solitude is dangerous to reason, without being favorable to virtue. Remember that the solitary mortal is certainly luxurious, probably superstitious, and possibly mad Picture Quote #1

The birth of love is always accompanied by the idea of solitude. A single being appears, and the rest of the world grows empty Picture Quote #1

I think writers have to be able to enjoy solitude rather than just endure it. I’ve always enjoyed being left alone with my imagination, ever since I was a kid Picture Quote #1

There’s a difference between solitude and loneliness. I can understand the concept of being a monk for a while Picture Quote #1

Usually, we think that good loneliness is what we call solitude, the choice of some alone-time. But I want to press on with the negative dimension, to look at ways in which a fundamental sense of being separated from others shapes who we are and why Picture Quote #1

However softly we speak, God is so close to us that he can hear us; nor do we need wings to go in search of him, but merely to seek solitude and contemplate him within ourselves, without being surprised to find such a good Guest there Picture Quote #1

Talents are nurtured best in solitude, But character on life’s tempestuous seas! Picture Quote #1

When I’m writing solitude feels very good. But when I’m not writing it feels lonely... Having a big family solves that problem Picture Quote #1

Loneliness is black coffee and late-night television; solitude is herb tea and soft music Picture Quote #1

Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them Picture Quote #1

Ah! two desires toss about The poet’s feverish blood; One drives him to the world without, And one to solitude Picture Quote #1

I’ve always felt that complement of opposites: body and soul, solitude and companionship, and in the dance studio, contraction and release, rise and fall Picture Quote #1

I remember when I was a child... walking into the woods by myself and feeling the solitude around me build like electricity and pass through my body with a jolt that made my hair prickle Picture Quote #1

Life comes in clusters, clusters of solitude, then a cluster when there is hardly time to breathe Picture Quote #1

To understand one’s world, one must sometimes turn away from it! To serve better, one must briefly hold it at a distance. Where can the necessary solitude be found, the long breathing space in which mind gathers its strength and takes stock of its courage Picture Quote #1
